Did you even look in that repo?

How exactly does it violate the Developer's Certificate of Origin clause?

Why do you think there is a lot of training data? Could it be because it's stable and virtually unchanged for decades? Hmmm.

It's like they are trying to do the opposite of the Unix philosophy. Do many things very poorly.

They dont care. Their sales reps absolutely know that if you are using Microsoft products it is because you are locked in so deeply that escape is nearly impossible.

I like CUE a lot. We use it pretty heavily for schema enforcement of CRDs. That being said, it is pretty complex and learning to use it was anything but straight forward.

For more basic configs, I would potentially look into KCL https://www.kcl-lang.io/

It has a much simpler usage overall especially if you are only really trying to enforce some config rules.

The other alternative is to just use whatever language you are writing your software in and build a basic validator

Lets put it this way, no engineer is choosing to use bitbucket. You use it because some SVP made the mistake of choosing atlassian software a decade ago and refuses to change.

For me the biggest value of uv was replacing pyenv for managing multiple versions of python. So uv replaced pyenv+pyenv-virtualenv+pip

I am confused on this as well, they list polyglot teams[0] as their top use case and consider not needing schema files a feature

I think the big difference is that these aren't AI generated bug reports. They are bugs found with the assistance of AI tools that were then properly vetted and reported in a responsible way by a real person.

Thats a bit uncalled for. This is a game made by someone shaped by their perspective on the world. It can be appreciated as such without applying your own additional intent.

Its a nice thought, but this is not at all reflective of reality

This is such a funny take. In China corporations operate at the behest of the government. In the US the government operates at the behest of corporations.

My guess is that there aren't that many folks using zed over neovim/emacs. It seems like a more suitable alternative to vscode or jetbrains IDEs which imo have at least the same level of financial risks involved. At the end of the day it is just an editor and moving to something is pretty minimal effort if things do go in a direction you don't agree with.

athorax — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 21:18:58 +0000

It is less personal. I am writing code in the same style as the rest of the code base. Its more focused on correctness than my preferences. If someone critiques code in a PR I don't take it personally as it is usually in good faith.

athorax — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 14:49:20 +0000

I feel similarly. For me I know it is because of my rejection sensitive dysphoria. The fear of someone seeing and judging something personal of mine is quite uncomfortable. I don't have the same issue with code I write professionally.
